Guest guest Posted May 16, 2004 Report Share Posted May 16, 2004 yes, whole wheat is a whole grain. The most common one, I would say. Others might be whole oats, whole rye, whole barley and whole spelt. Re: New Member Just have to reply to this.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Hi, my name is Caroline, and I live in the UK. Hi Caroline, I am glad to hear that South Beach is finally becoming popular in the UK. I am English living in the US and when I spoke to my sister in the UK about South Beach she didn't seem very familiar with it. Over here most of the restaurants now offer low carb meals so I am sure that before long that will be an option where you are too. The trouble is that so much food in England is full of carbs. I don't know what I am going to do when I go home to visit next month. How can I not have fish and chips, pasty, cream cakes? I understand your dilemma. The English diet is rich in carbs. Hopefully you'll overcome the temptation. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Cheryl - I was eating so few carbs because I basically stayed on Induction for the year. I added in brazil nuts, strawberries and blackberries, but if I had too many of those in a week I put on weight. And one of the reasons I put on weight was that I just couldn't stay eating only meat and veg forever. Eating out here consists of buying yourself an Atkins bar beforehand, - and those were only available in January - or going without. Salads are available, but mostly pasta salads. Lots of sandwiches, scones, cakes, carbs,carbs carbs. I am talking about eating out at service stations, or having something when out at a stately home or visiting gardens, or even friends. I missed out on everything. So I fell off the wagon so much that all the fat you have on Atkins stayed on me - though my husband lost 28 pounds - and I thought I had better switch to a diet that included the 'right' carbs because I was so bored. - Caroline RE: New Member Hi Caroline! I am about to begin the SBD as well. I too have been using Atkins as my diet for about 1 1/2 years on the advice of my physician. I have lost a little weight (I'm a type 2 diabetic), but felt the need for a change. However, despite that, Atkins is relatively similar to SBD in many ways. I know, I know... no one hit me, but it is IF you truly follow it as written. Can I ask why you went without any carbs? And why you went a year without any fruit? You're supposed to be eating carbs the whole time, and you're also supposed to add back fruit, primarily berries, after a short time without. I've been having raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries on Atkins. My main concern with what you said is this, and it's truly none of my business, but I'm curious... Atkins is very easy to follow when you eat out, at least around here (I'm in Las Vegas, NV). I eat salads, steamed veggies, proteins, and sometimes a very small portion of something like a yam (they're really popular right now... had them at a wedding recently). Are you looking at SBD as a way to go out and eat more breads/grains? Or are the meals where you are so different than ours? Cheryl Hi, my name is Caroline, and I live in the UK. I am just about to start the South Beach Diet on Monday. I have been on the Atkins diet for a year, but with little success, sadly. I have felt wonderful in the fact that my blood sugar stabilised and my energy went up, but although I lost a little weight initially, after about 3 months it all went back on, and now I am back at my starting position. I think this was because I just couldn't stay off carbohydrates forever! I mean, a year without fruit and any carbs! I do hope that I will be able to take weight off and live with the South Beach diet. I have read the book, and it does seem a sensible step up from Atkins. On Atkins, you could never eat anything when you were out - or not in this country - so I ended up always cheating. Looking forward to losing weight with you all, and getting to know you better. - CarolineReminder: The South Beach Diet is not low-carb. Nor is it low-fat.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 --OMG how did you ever do that Caroline? I tried Atkins 2 years ago and the induction period was just too much for me. I was a mess after 2 days with zero carbs in my body. I was shakey sweaty dizzy etc. I had zero energy and couldn't even make it down the basement stairs to my treadmill/ stationary bike etc never mind the gym. It was the most awful 2 days of my life. Prior to that I was working out at the gym minimum 3-4 days a week with cardio and weight training. It was like I had a relapse of my MS symptoms all over again which I was diagnosed with over 10 years ago but it has not advanced. This SB diet I am finding very easy to adapt to. The first couple days was abit jittery but I just put my sorry butt to bed with tons of water, tea and took it easy and now I am over the worst of it I think. I do not miss the bread rice pasta etc at all. I just eat that darn diet jello like its going out of a style and it really helps me alot...I guess to each his /her own... but it's strange how these diets affect us all differently. I so prefer SB over Atkins..but there are others I know who swear b Atkins.. - In South-Beach-Diet-Getting-It-Right , " Caroline " <carolineroche@b...> wrote: > Cheryl - I was eating so few carbs because I basically stayed on Induction for the year.

I eat salads, steamed veggies, proteins, and sometimes a very small portion of something like a yam (they're really popular right now... had them at a wedding recently). Are you looking at SBD as a way to go out and eat more breads/grains? Or are the meals where you are so different than ours? HI Cheryl, I used to live in Vegas as well ((20 years in fact)). At least until 3 months ago. We moved out of the city and went to Phoenix. It's good to meet a fellow Veginite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 >>> Cheryl - I was eating so few carbs because I basically stayed on Induction for the year. I added in brazil nuts, strawberries and blackberries, but if I had too many of those in a week I put on weight. And one of the reasons I put on weight was that I just couldn't stay eating only meat and veg forever. Eating out here consists of buying yourself an Atkins bar beforehand, - and those were only available in January - or going without. Salads are available, but mostly pasta salads. Lots of sandwiches, scones, cakes, carbs,carbs carbs. I am talking about eating out at service stations, or having something when out at a stately home or visiting gardens, or even friends. I missed out on everything. So I fell off the wagon so much that all the fat you have on Atkins stayed on me - though my husband lost 28 pounds - and I thought I had better switch to a diet that included the 'right' carbs because I was so bored. - Caroline Bummer. I couldn't stay on just meat/induction for a year without losing my mind. LOL! Sounds like there's quite a challenge in eating out. Can you get the right carbs in restaurants to help in that direction? I have seen whole grain breads locally in the restaurants, but doubt they have brown rice, etc. Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 ... I used to live in Vegas as well ((20 years in fact)). At least until 3 months ago. We moved out of the city and went to Phoenix. It's good to meet a fellow Veginite. Hi! We got out of Vegas for a year, back in the late 90s, but came back. I fought it because I loved Albquerque, NM, but hubby's work is here. :-) So here we are again, in a town of excess everything: food, spending, sex. Quite the place to try and change one's eating habits. Everything has gotten bigger, including the food. We had lunch out today, and I swear they served us each the equivalent of THREE chicken breasts. I ate less than half of mine, and I'm SO stuffed!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2004 Report Share Posted May 24, 2004 - Welcome Tonya. Congrats on wanting to get it under control now. I applaud you. Let me tell you how much more difficult it is to get the weight off if you put it off to your 40's like I did. It's true what they say ya know: everything changes with your body by then so I wish you success. -- In South-Beach-Diet-Getting-It-Right , " tl_pugh " <tl_pugh@y...> wrote: > Hello everyone.
